About This Elopement
Photography by Steph Pickard Photo
“Carly and Alex had an intimate wedding on a beautiful spring day in Marquette, MI! They rented out an Airbnb on Lake Superior to stay at for the weekend, and they got ready there along with their first look. They had their ceremony at Presque Isle on the Black Rocks, followed by golden hour portraits there. They had a reception at their AirBnB afterwards, with a private chef, and a beautiful setup on the patio overlooking Lake Superior.
Everyone was so emotional throughout the day because you could just truly feel how much they love each other. It definitely made them stand out. It was also everyone’s first time in Marquette and the Upper Peninsula, so the whole trip was really special!” [Steph, the photographer]

Tops Tips and Planning During This Elopement
“This location doesn’t require a permit at this time, but we always respect LNT policies! There are no dogs allowed at this location, but that is currently the only stipulation outside of standard LNT policies!
My top tips would be aim for sunrise, sunset, or a weekday during peak season because this location gets very busy, and wear shoes with good traction because the rocks can get a little slick and uneven.” [Steph, the photographer]

Details We’re Loving
“I loved the details that they put into their little mini-reception! I don’t see a lot of receptions during elopements, but the care and details they put into it were beautiful. They had a beautiful dinner made by a private chef who came out to their rental home, they had beautiful table settings and flowers, specialty cocktails and drinks, and charcuterie boards. It was incredible!” [Steph, the photographer]
